So you think you’re a Guru? Prove it.
Posted by Doran Barton on August 27, 2008 in Meetings
At last year’s Utah Open Source Conference, locally-based Linux training firm Guru Labs hosted the first Troubleshooting Challenge, a contest to see who could restore a seemingly hopeless broken Linux system back to a pristine operational state the fastest. We watched as hopeful contestants rapidly keyed in commands to try to track down problems, beads of sweat appearing and running off their foreheads. Finally, a lone “Got it!” escaped one person’s mouth as spectators quickly gathered around to witness the remedy for themselves.
The drama is back!
On Saturday, August 30, as part of the 2008 Utah Open Source Conference activities, Guru Labs will, once again, be hosting a Troubleshooting Challenge to determine, once and for all (until next year), who is the Guru.
There will be a few rounds as the contest is whittled down to a final four. The ultimate victor will walk away with a $150 cash prize from the Utah Open Source Foundation. Final four finalists will each receive vouchers from Guru Labs to be used for enrollment in one of Guru Labs’ excellent week-long training courses. All participants who enter the challenge will receive Guru Labs t-shirts.
